Konoha's Hextech Ninja

"A wandering ninja, considered a super minion? 90 gold coins is not bad, much stronger than a regular minion. It's a pity it wasn't classified as a hero, otherwise it could be doubled."

Yoruichi Yagami felt a little regretful, but she didn't dwell on it too much.

The strength of a wandering ninja is ultimately still very weak.

It is also not commonly seen in mountainous areas.

If they were official ninjas from the five major ninja villages, or even some smaller ninja villages, their strength would be even greater, and they might be classified as 'hero units' by the system.

Stopping thinking about these trivial matters, Yagami Yoruichi opened the system shop and saw that he had enough gold coins. He immediately chose to synthesize the [Demon Sect].

During the mission, Yagami Yoruichi had already stacked the third [Tears of the Goddess]. Once the [Demon Sect] was combined, it immediately transformed into the evolution equipment [Demon Cutter].

【魔切：+35攻擊力、1000查克拉上限、15技能急速。‘敬畏’：被動，獲得相當於2%查克拉上限的攻擊力。‘衝擊’：攻擊會對英雄造成相當於1.2%查克拉上限的攻擊特效，傷害型技能會對英雄造成相當於3%查克拉上限的額外物理傷害。】

With the addition of the [Magic Cutter] to her equipment slot, Yoruichi Yagami's stats began to surge once again.

However, perhaps due to the inherent characteristics of the Rui Tian Di template itself, the full realization of the various attribute bonuses requires a process, so Yagami Yoruichi's attribute improvement speed is not very fast.

But it is constantly improving almost every moment.

Yoruichi Yagami had a similar experience before.

When the first piece of equipment, [Embrace of the Seraph], is synthesized, the attribute growth time is not long.

However, it took more than a month to synthesize the second piece of equipment, "Doomsday Winter," before its attributes were maximized.

According to this pattern, the further into the game you go, the more time it takes to maximize the bonuses from attribute cycles.

However, even though the attribute cycle has just begun and the bonus has not yet reached its maximum, just by equipping the [Magic Cutter], Yoruichi Yagami's stats have already increased significantly.

Physical constitution, chakra limit, and spell power have all seen significant improvements.

In terms of sheer numbers, Yagami Yoruichi is definitely among the top tier of Jonin.

Once the potential of the attribute cycle is fully realized and the attribute is upgraded to its limit, it may be possible to reach the threshold of the movie level.

Even if it doesn't reach that level, the difference won't be too much. Once you get the fourth piece of equipment, it will definitely be enough.

At that time, whether she wants to take revenge on Danzo Shimura or do something else, Yoruichi Yagami will have enough confidence not to consider too many external factors.

Suppressing his excitement, Yagami Yoruichi closed the system interface.

Kakashi Hatake and his team had finished cleaning up the battlefield and collected all the valuable spoils of war.

"This time, these guys are really desperate." Yagami Yoruichi glanced at the mess of 'weapons' scattered all over the ground.

These things are more like farm tools than weapons.

Even hoes and shovels have appeared.

The only weapons they had were a few cheap machetes, a wooden bow and arrows.

As for armor, there was none.

After running this lap, Yagami Yoruichi realized that only a few had achieved such a fruitful result as the first bandit-suppression mission.

Most ordinary bandits don't actually have much wealth.

In order to maintain their military strength, they have to invest most of their money in weapons, and their quality of life may not even be as good as that of slightly wealthier civilians.

Unless one is truly desperate to survive, few people would be willing to take the risk of living such a precarious existence.

"More than a dozen groups of bandits, totaling more than 300 people, had a total of only a few hundred thousand taels of wealth. Including the mission reward, it was probably around two million taels."

The 'financial manager' Maruhoshi Kosuke quickly gave a rough estimate of the income: "Of course, the exact figure may fluctuate, and we'll only know once we've processed these earnings. But in my experience, the fluctuation won't be too great, and it won't exceed 100,000 taels."

"Let's deduct the cost of ninja tools and explosive tags used in this mission from this budget first," Yagami Yoruichi said. "The main reason we used so many ninja tools was the ambush on the Root ninjas. We used even fewer tools when dealing with the Yamazaki later."

Some fixed teams reimburse the consumption of ninja tools and explosive tags during missions from the team's total income.

As for the temporary teams, they weren't familiar enough with each other. To prevent anyone from deliberately wasting money to buy new ninja tools, they usually split the money normally and each person was responsible for their own ninja tool consumption.

After all, ninja tools like kunai and shuriken can usually be used for several battles if they can be retrieved after a battle and are not too badly damaged.

Replacing it with a new one also incurs a considerable expense.

This problem certainly doesn't exist in Yagami Yoruichi's team.

Maruboshi Kosuke has carried out quite a few S-rank missions, so he doesn't lack money for ninja tools at all.

Kakashi Hatake and Inaho Uchiha were both very proud geniuses who disdained to covet such a small advantage.

Yagami Yoruichi simply chose to use the team's funds to reimburse the ninja tools consumed during the mission, and then divide the remaining money among themselves.

This can be considered a small perk for Kakashi Hatake and Inaho Uchiha.

This amount of money for ninja tools is indeed just a small perk compared to the total amount each person receives.

None of them had any objections.

After quickly cleaning up the battlefield, they cleared away every mountain and ravine, and placed all valuables into the sealing scroll.

After completing all this, the group quickly left and headed straight for a city called 'Dingyuan'.

This is the city where the local lord resides.

All of these dozen or so bandit suppression missions were carried out within the territory of this nobleman.

"The hot springs here are very famous. You can find a hotel to soak in the hot springs and rest for a while. I'll come and meet up with you after I've taken care of these things."

Maruhoshi Kosuke said something and immediately disappeared into the crowd.

Yoruichi Yagami didn't go looking for them either. She discussed it with Kakashi Hatake and Inaho Uchiha, and the three of them checked into a hot spring inn.

……

Inside the hot spring pool, Yagami Yoruichi leaned against the edge, feeling the warm water flowing over his body, as if all his fatigue had been carried away by the hot spring.

"After working so hard for so long, I can finally relax a bit."

Yagami Yoru lay half-reclined, casually chatting with Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Inahisa.

Not long after, Kosuke Maruboshi arrived.

Kosuke Maruboshi possesses remarkable sensory abilities, and he was able to easily locate the three of them, Yagami Yoruichi and the others, unless they made a special effort to hide.

Since it concerned their wallets, Yagami Yoruichi couldn't help but ask, "Kosuke-senpai, is everything going smoothly?"

"Everything went smoothly. With the mission reward, the total income this time is 205 million taels." Maruhoshi Kosuke's words reassured the group.

Although neither Kakashi Hatake nor Inaho Uchiha came for the money.

Even Yoruichi Yagami's main purpose wasn't for money, but to hone herself as much as possible while farming system rewards.

But who wouldn't want to earn more money?

The profession of ninja involves living a life of constant danger, not for any dream, but for the simplest and most realistic thing: money.

Only a very few outliers, such as Naruto Senju and Naruto Uzumaki, would talk about their dreams all the time.

"After deducting the cost of ninja tools, the amount is approximately 1.9 million taels."

Yagami Yoruichi did the math for a moment, then shook her head and said, "It's much less than expected."

“That last mission must have been specially chosen by your teacher.” Maruhoshi Kosuke, being experienced, immediately pointed out the reason: “For a regular bandit suppression mission, our income is normal. Last time, the income was much higher.”

"That should be it." Yagami Yoruichi nodded, feeling a surge of gratitude.

Although Tsunade usually appears distant, cold, and even somewhat ruthless.

But when it comes to actually doing things, he still cares a lot about himself as a student!

After I get back this time, I'll try my best to perform and strive to become Tsunade's true disciple!

Although students can also benefit from the teacher's status and identity, they ultimately cannot compare to the close relationship between the teacher and the student.

“It’s not easy to divide 1.9 million taels. How about we take out 100,000 taels and spend it all together to enjoy ourselves?” Yagami Yoruichi suggested. “As for the remaining 1.8 million taels, Kosuke-senpai and I will each take 600,000 taels, and Kakashi and Inahikasa will each take 300,000 taels.”

Yagami Yoruichi is the team leader, while Maruboshi Kosuke is in charge of 'sell the stolen goods' to increase the team's income, so it's only right that he gets an extra share.

No one objected to this allocation method.

"Spend 100,000 ryo to enjoy yourself?" Maruboshi Kosuke hesitated for a moment, then advised, "You can't touch the three forbidden ninja rules!"

When the Three Prohibitions of Ninjas are mentioned, Yagami Yoruichi can't help but think of the 'Three Ninjas of Gambling, Prostitution and Drugs'.

Of course, the so-called three prohibitions are not 'gambling, prostitution, and drugs', but rather 'alcohol, money, and women'.

It's not about complete prohibition, but rather about restraint.

For example, with money, it doesn't mean you can't handle money at all, but you have to be restrained when spending it. For example, you can't engage in activities like gambling.

But in reality, once you get involved, nobody cares.

Tsunade is also known as the "Big Fat Sheep of the Ninja World," and her reputation for always losing at gambling has spread throughout the ninja world, but this does not affect the fact that she is one of the most famous and powerful ninjas in the world.

"It's just eating and drinking, soaking in a hot spring and enjoying yourself. It's not against the three prohibitions, is it?" Yagami Yoruichi joked with a smile. "Kousuke-senpai, you've worked so hard these past few days. It's okay to enjoy yourself once in a while. You don't have to be so rigid!"

Upon hearing this, Maruhoshi Kosuke no longer objected and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, let's stay here for a day, spend all 100,000 taels, and then go back. Don't underestimate 100,000 taels; in a big city like this, it can be spent very quickly!"

Chapter 89 An Accidental Encounter with Jiraiya

Despite being called a big city, in Yagami Yoruichi's eyes, this metropolis, which was considered prosperous in the ninja world, was actually no different from her small county town in her previous life, and even more backward in many aspects.

However, in the ninja world, this is already a rare prosperous area.

In fact, in terms of economy alone, this place is far superior to Konoha, and in terms of entertainment and leisure, it far surpasses Konoha.

One hundred thousand taels of silver would certainly not go far in such a 'money pit'.

In addition, with the old-fashioned senior Maruboshi Kosuke around, things related to the 'Three Forbidden Rules of Ninjas' were naturally off-limits.

The group soaked in a hot spring, had a big meal, and spent all of their 100,000 ryo 'team building funds' before embarking on their journey back to Konoha.

Two days later, the four returned to Konoha.

"Finally back." Uchiha Inahi stretched, looking exhausted, and muttered, "This is the first time in my life I've been away from the village for so long!"

The dozen or so bandit suppression missions, plus the time spent on the road, took nearly a month in total.

For the few kids still at the ninja academy, it was indeed a long time.

"You talk as if you've left the village many times," Kakashi Hatake couldn't help but retort.

Uchiha Inahisa laughed and said, "I've done it more times than you. Before I met you guys, I also carried out guard duty outside the village with the senior members of the security team, but we always came back on the same day."

Uchiha Inaho was considered a highly regarded genius among the younger generation of the Uchiha clan, and she was able to get involved in some of the clan's more basic affairs at a very young age.

It's not surprising that even before graduating, senior members of the clan would take them on some simple tasks.

"Registration complete." Yagami Yoruichi returned from the registration desk and said to Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Inaho, "You two, why don't you go home first and tell your elders about Root?"

Kakashi Hatake and Inaha Uchiha exchanged a glance.

A month ago, when the group left the village, they were chased by the Roots, and they haven't forgotten that!

If they were ordinary students, they would naturally have no choice but to swallow their anger.

But their identities are anything but ordinary!

Kakashi Hatake's father, Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang of Konoha, was even more famous in the ninja world than the Legendary Sannin. He was considered by many ninja villages to be the strongest person in Konoha besides the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The Uchiha clan is one of the top clans in Konoha. After the Senju clan disbanded and assimilated into the common people, the Uchiha clan firmly established itself as the number one ninja clan, a status far superior to other bloodline clans and secret technique clans.

Yoruichi Yagami's background was not as good as theirs, but she had a good teacher.

With these three parties working together to exert pressure, it's absolutely impossible for Hiruzen Sarutobi to let this matter go so easily.

"I'll go back and discuss it with my father," Kakashi Hatake said.

Uchiha Inahi also said, "I will report to the elders as soon as I get back."

“Alright, I’ll go find the teacher first. We’ll meet at the training ground tonight.” Yagami Yoruichi waved her hand, looked at Maruhoshi Kosuke, and asked, “Kosuke-senpai, will you be coming too?”

Maruhoshi Kosuke nodded and said seriously, "Hiruzen has promised to severely punish Danzo, so I definitely need to supervise him."

At first, when Kosuke Maruboshi addressed Hiruzen Sarutobi, he would also call him "Third Generation Lord".

But as he became more familiar with Yagami Yoruichi and the others, he stopped pretending and started calling them by their names directly.

Although nominally he is a 'perpetual genin'.

But in reality, everyone knows that this seemingly kind and gentle man, while not as influential as the higher-ups in Konoha, still holds a higher status than most elite Jonin.

After all, he was an "old man" who had lived through the Second Hokage's era, and in Konoha, a place that values ​​seniority and hierarchy, he was naturally superior to others.
